No Stone Left Alone

Innisfail students honour Canadian veterans

Oct 29, 2020 | 1:53 PM

Grade 3 and 4 students from St. Marguerite Bourgeoys Catholic School in Innisfail recently honoured Canadian veterans, by participating in “No Stone Left Alone.”

This past Tuesday, October 27, the students put poppies on gravestones at the Innisfail Cemetery.

“It’s important for students to take part in this because it provides them a tangible connection to those who served and sacrificed for our freedom,” said Teacher Kimi Abreu. “It is vital for them to see that members of their own community were involved in wars and battles. Participating in ‘No Stone Left Alone’ connects directly to the curriculum. Students are visiting the gravesites of those who have had a significant role in shaping Alberta’s identity.”

“Our students participate in this activity to honour and remember the veterans who sacrifice so much for all of us. It is especially important for the students to honour those who lived in our community,” said Kelly Jacobson, Principal at St. Marguerite Bourgeoys Catholic School.

The No Stone Left Alone Memorial Foundation is dedicated to honouring and remembering Canada’s veterans. Their unique ceremony provides students and youth with an authentic experience that creates knowledge, understanding and appreciation of those who serve and of the sacrifice of Canada’s fallen.
